Britany Broski Details Mattie Healy's Kissing History

Ok but fr, I understand Brittney's viewpoint and what she's trying to get at as someone who has been a fangirl since a very young age but as an adult, I agree with Noel. There should always be boundaries between artists & fans.

It’s very normal for a young fan to fantasize about making out or hooking up with a celebrity. That’s not the issue. The issue is that it’s the celebrity’s responsibility to not abuse their power to exploit vulnerable young fans. Britany is seeing this from the perspective of a fan, Noel is talking from the perspective of the public figure.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the only fans he kissed were like 28/29 which is kind of the same age as him?

@@vanessamilton8235idk how are the fans 'used' in this situation, they wanted that kiss, they got it, they're happy. I don't think heely even needs these kisses

[@surette2012]

⁠​⁠@@tattva_jnanait’s transactional in a way. The fan gets to cross the parasocial barrier and do something pseudo romantic with someone they admire and the celeb gets validated in whatever subconscious way and gets some shock value content to keep their name in the media. I think it’s kinda off and feels like sanitized s€x work. It’s the same creepy vibe I get when attractive cosplayers/models/sex workers go to conventions and take a looot of money from their fans to take suggestive photos with them. It’s an unnatural human encounter. In my mind, it’s not just the celeb being creepy, but whoever actually takes the bait and is so ready to sexualize a perfect stranger. It is dehumanizing in the lens that celebrities are often deified and pedestaled so the power they have over their fans is an abnormal relationship. Celebrities aren’t your friends/potential romantic partners…they’re just someone to project on, scream in their face at and ask a photo from. Once you start an interaction with screaming and crying in a celebs face, you’ve ruined any hope for a normal friendship/relationship. I don’t get how anyone can feel good with such artificial interactions. I’d feel discouraged if I liked someone’s music for awhile and my first interaction was ‘stand on this mark, Matty’s going to kiss you at this time stamp and the security guard will whisk you away’ You’re just some faceless fan used for a bit and forgotten before Matty feels his hangover.

If you have to consistently check IDs I think that' should be enough for you to not engage in whatever weird behaviour you're about to do. Dazzled fans will go along with alot of things because they're star struck and in love with the music. And seems they're all incredibly young too so can't be that well informed about what it means when a singer sucks your thumb...or kisses you. What's the limit? Can he do anything to his fans and it'd just allowed because it's matty healy," it's a bit!" Come on. Just another man getting his rocks off right in front of everyone because he can.

Why is everyone in this comment section acting like this is something he imposes on others against their will? If he's "getting his rocks off in front of everyone" then so it the person he is doing it with (which, as mentioned, majority of their fans are adults), because they are both consenting adults sharing a singular moment. People are blowing this WAY out of proportion. Its a fucking kiss lol

Its utterly outrageous. Seems like the fans are brainwashed or just dazzled by his talent so they ignore the weird behaviour. Like if this man was unattractive n not so popular musically it'd be a whole different story. Its so odd

And how is he even checking IDs? And isn't it a bit of a reality check that you shouldn't be doing what you're doing if you have to check IDs.. like ew. He knows most of his fans are super young!!!! And what if they are fake IDs? Like what is going on

Yeah…the consent isn’t the weird part It’s the power dynamics and the extra work to make sure it’s legal. Like how it’s weird that grown men obsess over 18 year olds.

Yeeeah, it feels wrong to use your power over young women who look up to you to make out with them :/ I get that these fans think they want to kiss him and all, but there's a difference between fantasizing about it and it actually happening. Like, these girls would do anything for him. It feels weird to pull them up on stage and possibly make them feel peer pressured into doing it.
